Prerequisites

All students who plan to major or minor in mathematics must see a math advisor before registering. Some students may need prerequisite courses. Advanced placement in mathematics is possible for well-prepared students. All prerequisite courses must be completed with grades of C- or higher.

Requirements

All credit must be approved by the mathematics faculty to be applied toward the major. At least four of the courses beyond MATH 233 must be completed at Roosevelt University.

Once a student begins taking math classes at Roosevelt, any additional courses taken outside of the university must get pre-approval in writing from the department chair in order to apply them to the math major.

Requirements for a major in mathematics leading to the BS degree consists of the core and elective courses listed below This is 42 semester hours, although it may vary slightly for transfer students (who took, for example, a 4 semester-hour calculus 1 course).

In addition, a minor or a supporting sequence of at least 15 semester hours in a science is required. Approved areas for the BS degree are:
